MEMBERSHIP REVIEW: Alvin owes $1600.00.
Due to failed work-trade project, becoming a firefighter but not
getting called, massive debt to U of O and the Phil Knight Library,
etc. He currently has 3 jobs, is looking for winter-break-seasonal
jobs, will get 3 paychecks next week, and plans to share a double 3
ways next term. Proposal to keep Alvin, hoping he can pay back
$800.00 by first board meeting of next term during Week 2 (or a
minimum of $450 and check in with a list of jobs he applied for and
did/didn't get between now and then). Proposal passes no stand
asides.

JANET SMITH ROOF PATCHING: Their roof
is leaking and needs patching with the roof-cement-tar-stuff that
Trip has a good understanding of. We discussed having work-traders
(or members needing to make up lots of work-party hours) do the
patching rather than paying a professional roof patcher. Alvin is the
top candidate for this position. If he doesn't want to then we will
ask work-traders with the appropriate combination of knowledge and
experience. If they don't do it by next week we will call a
professional. Materials to be purchased with JS maint. fund.

WESTCO: other NASCO'ers didn't even
know what it was before we brought it up! But we would like to have
it here! We'll choose a date as soon as possible and start planning.
Potentially the beginning of April. We could throw a benefit party to
help fund a wonderful conference. Might even host a workshop on “How
to Pay for WESTCO.” Proposal: The SCA is comfortable hosting WESTCO
at an appropriate date for all the schools involved. Passes.

SWARM: Tom Peerson, NASCO Director,
will contact us this week. NASCO Development or something like that
can help us through things like loans, lawyers, buildings, etc.

THANKSGIVING AT THE CC WITH TURKEY?????
Passive aggressive Lorax still not replying. The JS states that they
will be cooking a turkey and eating meat, dairy, etc. at their house.
They will consider (after Thomas asks at the house meeting) joining
the CC if they can bring their food with them and eat it too. The CC
plans to have a ton of vegetarian and vegan food to offer as well.

SILKSCREENING: Recently, The Tomato
Project came and used up obscene quantities of silk screening
supplies bought with SCA corporate membership money. UO bookstore is
currently having a 25% off sale and so we proposed to spend up to
$100.00 in membership funds to replenish our supply of toxic silk
screening materials made from mined metal and petroleum products
stolen from third-world countries (hoping that the Survival Center
can reimburse some of Project Tomatoe's portion of silkscreening
materials that were used up). Proposal passes.

TRI-HOUSE PROJECTOR: The Lorax Broke
it! CC is pissed because they watch it every night! It sparks. Is
definitely broken. Additionally a piece of tape that said “do not
remove” was removed. We need to find a new one. Melanie: there is a
projector review website to aid in finding us reliable models. If
one can be found for reasonable cost, it can be proposed to spend
corporate funds on another one...
